@Spaeth. I saw in another related discussion you received yours early. Can you cueme in on how long that was? From order date to shipping date. I sense as if my one day shipping was in vain.

Yes you have to wear those silly glasses 24/7. No, of course not! You only get 3D programming if your channel or movie and your settings are all in 3D. This is a wonderful HDTV for the price. 3D on it, is just an added perk, so you dont have to watch it if you dont want to.

Yes it can be viewed in 2D. We too didn't care about the 3D feature. We love the tv, no complaints

No. I don't use the 3d option. This television is worth every penny! I don't have an HD box and the picture is still crystal.

Push the 3d button on the remote or turn to a 3d channel or put in a 3d movie and it will automatically switch

This tv works great in both 3d and non-3d mode. I love it. Feel free to get one!

This TV functions like a non-3D television for the most part and all non-3D media plays normally. The 2D-to-3D feature is an option you would select from the menu if you choose to. However, real 3D content such as 3D videos will appear distorted if 3D viewing option is not selected.

1. Yes, you need a 3-D TV.2. Buy something else. I returned mine. Sound perfrmance was OK - but this thing was a terrible pain in the butt to deal with. Couldn't see spending several years being frustrated and angry. Try a Pioneer HTP-071 instead - that's what i got.

No, I own this TV and it's not 3D. I personally love this TV and 3D was more of a gimmick to me, so I decided to get this anyway. I got this TV on Amazon.com for $899 and then my credit card company had a price-match deal - reimbursing me if I found it cheaper elsewhere. I found it for sale in a store in Georgia ($699), so I ended up getting $200 back from my credit card company. I know you didn't ask for that last part, but I figured I'd mention it. You cannot get a better TV (with Smart Features) for the money.

Absolutely. Just connect the camcorder directly to the 3D TV. When you playback the 3D video, in 3D mode,the TV will automatically switch to 3D.

Yes, it is an HD TV that has the capacity to play in 3D. You don't have to use the 3D feature at all, but its there if you want to. I've used the 3D and its fantastic. I just prefer to watch my movies without it.

It is 3D capable. If you have a 3D capable blu-ray player and if you can actually find (they are rare) 3D blu-ray movies or special events OR if your cable, dish, or whatever provider you use offers a program in 3D then you will be able to watch it in 3D IF you also purchase 3D glasses. Otherwise you will never know the difference and the likelyhood of ever using it is practically nil. Technology is working on improving 3D for home use in TV's to be viewed without glasses but they say it is still a few years away. This tv being 3D should not influence your decision to buy unless you have a special need for 3D (rare).

Yes is the short answer. What i have discovered is that by default, the TV is 2D UNLESS you are streaming 3D content. For example I have ATT U-verse. They dont broadcast in 3d (they have a few special features, but not be default). I was afraid my TV wouldnt know how ot handle the 2D pic. its quite simple, being a "smartTV" it recognizes the 2d signal and broadcasts in 2D. Should 3d content be available, it will tell you "3d content is available, please put on 3d glasses" beautiful 2d picture. 3d is really kinda cool too. wish i wouldve figured this out earlier!!!!

yes, you can watch it in 2 d if your monitor or tv is only in 2d... also thier is a 3d to 2d slide switch on the camera for both filming and viewing in either 3d or 2d.

Doesn't the TV have a setting for a 3D signal that must be selected first? I haven't played a 3D disc through my player to the TV, but have played 3D videos from my cable provider and had to change some setting or else I'd get two screens side by side. Try this:On the TV remote-MenuPicture(arrow down thru settings to)3D3D Auto View- and set to on.

Hi Jonathan C. Cauthorn, Yes, when viewing 3d files you can switch from side by side, over/under and simulated 3d. You can adjust the following settings by pressing OPTIONS on the remote control and selecting "3D Menu" from the menu list then select "3d Format". The playable file format for this TV are the following: .mp4, .mpg, .mts or .m2ts. - Jerome
